ACC Basketball: Ranking of top 25 players entering 2023-24 season

10. PJ Hall – Clemson

A former 4-star recruit for Brad Brownell, Hall is back for his senior season with the Tigers, hoping to make new memories and stand out even more. He just averaged 15.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game as a junior, very similar numbers to what he put up as a sophomore, albeit this time on a Clemson team that finished 14-6 in conference play.

Hall was named Third Team All-ACC last year but has the potential to land even more accolades this season. He’s an experienced and talented big man who actually hit just under 40% from outside the arc and is a decent free throw shooter as well. Hall fills up the stat sheets and was one of the most utilized players in the ACC last season. That certainly won’t change this year as he looks for a third straight solid campaign in Clemson.

9. Reece Beekman – Virginia

Nobody is left anymore from Virginia’s 2019 national championship team but Beekman certainly feels like the old veteran these days. Entering his senior year with the Cavaliers, he’s started in this backcourt for most of his career and is coming off a season where he averaged 9.5 points and 5.3 assists per game. He’ll settle in nicely at the point after Kihei Clark’s departure.

While his scoring numbers don’t exactly jump off the page, Beekman is a great contributor and skilled passer who puts those around him in good shape. While Tony Bennett may want a little more offense out of him this season, he does his job well, and even made 35% of his long-range shots last year. Just two seasons ago Beekman was the conference’s leader in steals and assists and he’s hoping this becomes his third straight year heading the ACC in steal percentage.
